Use lgi to get icons directly from GTK

Rather than setting a path to the icons, use lgi to get the current GTK theme
and then look up the icons. Then set the image as a cairo surface by using the
GTK api directly.

With this change, one can modify their GTK icon theme (e.g. with lxappearance),
restart AwesomeWM and have the widget's icon automatically updated.
